The Team Management Profile (TMP) is a globally recognised tool designed to elevate individual and team performance. Based on extensive psychometric research, it provides insights into work preferences and offers a clear framework to understand how preferred team roles influence organisational success.

An Overview of the TMP

Work Preferences Explained

The Team Management Profile identifies the Types of Work an individual prefers to do, and how they prefer to do it. Work Preferences are explored in terms of

• How an individual prefers to Relate to others
• How an individual prefers to gather and use Information
• How an individual prefers to make Decisions
• How an individual prefers to Organise themselves and others

Mapping Role Preferences

Work preferences are mapped onto the Types of Work Wheel to identify an individual's preferred major and related team roles. Each role brings unique strengths and work preferences, helping individuals understand and use their contributions to boost teamwork, efficiency, and job satisfaction.
